Summary: Let’s summarize these techniques of increasing young children’s intelligence. 1) Talk to your children, frequently repeating words you wish them to learn. 2) Repeatedly play games with your child that have simple, clear rules. As your child masters the rules add more rules. 3) Let your child do it! Let your child do the task herself, giving only as much help as she really needs. 4) Break the child’s tasks into small parts the child can do and have the child watch you demonstrate the task. 5) Stimulate your child often with physical skill games you enjoy together. Keep this fun. Don’t forget to be silly! 6) Immediately and pleasantly respond to your child when he or she tries to get your attention. 7) Answer your child’s questions with simple explanations and then have the child explain the answer back to you. (Note: this technique continues to be useful for all ages including adults.) 8) Devise games to play with your child that help her to quantify and perceive parts of things. 9) Never compare children. Making one child feel superior will make the other one feel inferior. 10) Always review with your child how he or she figured it out. Understanding our thinking strategies makes us more intelligent.     As you can see, there are two basic strategies of increasing your child’s intelligence. One is verbal: talking to the child, repeating words you want him or her to learn, answering the child’s questions, having the child explain the answer back to you, and responding to the child immediately when he wants your attention. The other is to frequently play skill games with the child, making these an enjoyable interaction between the two of you. Notice that both of the strategies have as a key element a respect for and an enjoyment of the child. When you are happy to be with your child, your child is going to be happy to learn.
